It is true that not everything that glitters is gold, as actress Masasa Mbangeni and boyfriend Gwydion Beynon call it quits. Beynon, a television writer and producer, and Mbangeni are said to have broken up abruptly.
Masasa Mbangeni and boyfriend Gwydion Beynon are no longer together, according to Zimoja Lezinto, following a very sad break-up that has left Mbangeni in a very ‘traumatic’ state.
The couple was one of the most adored and cherished, especially since Mbangeni and Beynon are both television geniuses. Mbangeni is the queen of the screen, assassinating every role that has been assigned to her. Meanwhile, Beynon is a wizard behind the lens. He writes and produces some of Mzansi’s most popular and watched shows, such as The River and the upcoming Gqeberha The Empire.
Zimoja Lezinto learned from a close friend of both Mbangeni and Beynon that the break-up had a significant impact on Mbangeni.
“She was a heartbroken shame. It ended badly and abruptly, and she wasn’t handling the breakup.” said the friend
Reportedly, the pair was already staying together and from some of their pictures from social media one could tell that love was definitely in the air. However, the staying together part may have been the biggest contributing factor to the break up.
The close friend continued to mention that the relationship was going just about right until Mbangeni returned back to acting, after taking a long break as she was working a drama lecturer.
“They got too excited too soon, maybe. S*it hit the fan when she quit her job as a Drama lecturer and went back to acting. That’s where the danger was. Acting is frustrating because there is no sustainable income in South Africa. She should go abroad. I think that got to Gwydion. The fact that she wasn’t really working. But they looked so good together and we thought they would eventually get married because they had met each other’s families.” said the friend
Mbangeni really loved Beynon and from some of her past tweets, one could claim with their whole chest that she was loved back. She used to speak highly of Beynon and she really allowed some of fans and followers into their relationship.
“But I doubt she will be dating anytime soon, But I hope he at least gives her work in one of their productions, but I highly doubt with the way things ended.”
Both Masasa and Beynon have not shared the break up on their social media nor have issued a statement explaining such. However, recently Mbangeni is spending more time with her mother back home and doing all the cute things a mother and daughter does.
Exactly nine months ago, Mbangeni was once quoted saying “men deserve the very least in life”. This comes after sharing a story about her past boyfriend who refused to marry her when asked by his family.
“A man was once asked by his family why don’t you marry Masasa and his response was “why the fck would anyone do that?”…5 years later is that man not begging me to come back to his life,” she tweeted before deactivating her Twitter account.
